Hell yeah we're riding tonight! Critical Manners Ride

Why? Because it is the 2nd Friday of the month!
Here is the drill.
This is not a training ride. This is a City ride.
All parties are welcome to join and help bring common courtesy back to
the streets. For those who need a refresher on what Critical Manners is, here is the deal:

The ride will respect and abide by the city’s traffic laws.

Rides will be on the slow side to ensure no one is dropped and that the Mass stays a mass

The Mass will only take up one lane, two when necessary for safety.

The ride will stop at red lights and stop signs. If a light turns red
mid-mass, the riders who made the light should safely pull over to wait
for those who were caught by the light.

Riders are asked to signal turns, call out danger, and communicate their intentions to other riders.

All riders are required to wear helmets

The goal of these rides is to be a visible and positive example of the
cooperation that can exist between cars and bicycles when people respect
the laws and each other. So join the Mass and help make Fort Wayne a
better place for bicycles.
